From Melanie: "So much happened at the end
of fifth grade! Our mice multiplied, a cute boy in math started
I.M.ing me, an annoying girl (Suze the Ooze) tried to take
over my best friend, and Miguel, my sort-of boyfriend, suddenly
got all quiet. I was worried (you know me!) but next thing
you know, visitors arrived from abroad, and I, Melanie the
Tourist, became Melanie the Tour Guide. It was fun to show
off New York, and I learned all about my world-famous hometown.
But I also learned this: It's harder than you think to like
two guys at one time!!"
